Fun with NEX-7

[contrelamontre]

Going through my files I noticed a new theme in my photo's I wasn't aware off.
I seem to photograph a lot of empty streets.

So here's a few of them.

Michiel: A :thumbup: for # 11. I particularly like the composition of that one and it really conveys the feeling/mood of mysterious emptyness for me.

Bob, thanks for that link. That is quiet a story in deed!

Thanks, Philippe. It was much better as I thought on the NEX, but on the GXR and Leica it does not have any problems at all. The lens as such is really fantastic.

Thank you Hermann! May be virgin Maria helps to evoke that feeling.

Some more emptyness

I tend to prefer empty streets...much less "messy"

Probably some deep psychological insight there...or maybe I have an aversion to spandex....:ROTFL:

And your posts are wonderful.

Some after a "Farmers spectacle", as they call it, in our village.

( With a new lens in my collection :-D )

Aha, Michiel, so it is a Peugeot 203! Nice set, too.

Been testing a NEX7 with a Canon 24mm TS-E

 

[Slingers]

Shot this testing a new adapter while unfortunately the adapter didn't work I did get some shots I liked



NEX-7 + Contax G 45/2 @ f/2 ISO100 1/50

 

[philber]

Is it one of the new "electronic" adapters for Contax G which didn't work?

Here are some shots with my Zeiss

Is it one of the new "electronic" adapters for Contax G which didn't work?

Yeah it was. Worked Ok with my zoom, 28mm, and off and on with my 90mm. The 45 wouldn't often be recognised and if it was was manual focus only and stuck at where the motor stopped after starting up. For the shot above i used peaking and my arms. I have a 21mm that I didn't try as I need to trim the feet.

 

[philber]

Thanks for the info, Slingers! Regarding the 21, my experience is this. While it feels like it won't fit without trimming the feet, it will, but by the barest of margins. The trick is in which order you assemble the three parts. From memory you must put the lens on the adapter first, then the combo on the camera. That applied to my passive adapter, a Kipon. Bu adapter sizes should all be the same, in theory, and your electronic one should be high grade, so dimensionally correct. The issue then is corner performance, even with a 5N. While it is a tremendous lens, maybe the finest Zeiss glass ever to pass through my hands, I could never get a CornerFix profile to eliminate colour shift, never mind corner mush, so I sold it. But the guy who bought it produces stellar images with it...:-(

 

[Slingers]

Thanks Philber, it worked when I attached the adapter then the lens not the other way. Also I didn't notice any marks left.

 

[Slingers]

I see what you mean about the corners, I see magenta corners and vignetting. Here is a quick shot and a quick attempt to remove the corner issues.





I think it is workable even though I went a little too green and if the test shot wasn't very challenging to the corner issues.

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Nice ones Philippe! Must be a great lens to have.

First one La Fayette?
Second one; Palais de Tokyo?
Third one we all know.

[philber]

Good eye, Michiel! Indeed, Galeries Lafayette, Trocadéro, and you know what

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Not much time for photography due to severe renovations on the house in Normandy.

Man at work.

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

From a city called Colmar in Les Vosges, France on a bloody hot day.

And suddenly it rained big white stones!

 

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Back in Amsterdam acting like a tourist

And came across this older one with the same lens.
